Hey mom, recall Buddy? The ultimate heart-meltin’ charmer who chose loyalty over chaos, sunspots over cold shade, & gourmet dog-treats over kibble. Ol’ town’s missing him, his convoy rides, and darn dog adventures in the gardens. Sad day for Pug Palace, cat-siblings missing their peace ambassador, and the Spa seems empty without his adamant steaks. Miss the dog with the refined taste. Life in Spencerville ain’t the same without Buddy. *bark sigh* – Butters.

Listen to the story here.

Resting my paws on the ledge of Buddy’s English Bulldog Homestead, I look out on the blanket of peace that wraps every inch of Spencerville. Yes, that’s where ol’ Buddy used to stay, the heart-melter of a bulldog himself. Stayed loyal to his own charm, never ruffled by the Western Husky Hill’s chilled breeze or the whims of the Fawn Pug Palace aristocracy. Regular in the Doggy Depot, true to the bone, in fact a bone lover, he never missed his K9 Kebabs.

We were thick, as thick as the smell of dog-treats drifting from Pupperoni’s Pizza on a Sunday afternoon. Me and Buddy, traveling the town in our trusty four-legged convertible. That bulldog definitely had something about car rides, I tell ya. His sunbathing obsession was legendary too, so much so our sunbeam court had him in high regard. The dog knew how to pick a sunspot, just right, right enough to get himself a warm shade or two.

Buddy was adventurous sort. He wandered through Golden Gate Gardens, toy bone in mouth, a daily ritual that touched divine madness. He was sociable, but his joy peaked when he was sharing a car ride with the crew. That’s right, me, Buddy, Henry, Squirt, and Star. We were our own unique blend of pet Avengers, a force to behold. Even the hellish beast of dust and noise… that cursed vaccum, found no solace in our shared bravado.

Remembered conversations in murmurs and barks at the Woof and Whisker Wellness Center; Buddy, ever fascinated with his fellow dogs and their tales. His affectionate intimidation that even the Pugs of the Pug Palace bore witness. Yet, he treasured his feline siblings – Henry, Squirt, and Star, so much so even the cats stopped cat-fights to mark his passing.

Yup, we shared it all, from the Spa for Paws pampering to the vigour of the Dog-gone Good BBQ. He held a stubborn steak in all this, no kidding, and his love for people food, though questionable, was undeniable. I’ll be doggone if I ain’t never seen a dog with such a discerning palate.

Looking back at it all, I can’t help but feel a lump in my throat. It’s a love story for the ages. Nothing, not the bark, nor the ferocious growl, can shadow the memory of Buddy. Here we were… loving, living, and braving the winds of Spencerville together, etching our tales into the heart of this pet paradise.

The End.
